So...this is my first attempt at a Final Fantasy VII fic...I just had the idea of Sephy, Genesis and Angeal having siblings in my head lately and decided to do a fic of it. Cuz people like Sephiroth need more family love XP Hope you guys enjoy this~~ It is set in Crisis Core, by the way :)

In a secret lab in Mako Reactor 5, two girls were contained in their respective mako tanks. Their faces were serene and peaceful, like nothing was troubling them at all. But they were not alone; a scientist was pacing nervously in front of the tanks and he was very worried about something.

The scientist then walked over to his table where a file lay, empty of its original contents, and Hollander knew who took them. The one SOLDIER he had convinced to defect from Shin-Ra in order to exact his revenge on the company; the one SOLDIER he did much to bring over to his side.

Genesis Rhapsodos.

Hollander looked at the auburn haired girl with mounting anxiety, "If Genesis and Angeal really find out about their sisters...Damn it, damn it all,"

Meanwhile, in an abandoned bath house at Modeoheim, a red leather clad man was reading some papers silently with mounting disbelief and rage. Genesis was frozen on the spot as he read the reports on Project G that he had snagged from Hollander's file earlier. He could not believe what he was reading and he rubbed his eyes, trying to make sure that the names glaring at him were really there: Christina Rhapsodos and Elain Hewley.

The rogue SOLDIER pulled out his PHS and hit the speed dial and a familiar voice could be heard on the other end, filled with surprise, "Genesis?"

"Angeal, we need to talk,"

In one of the VR training rooms in the Shin-Ra Building, Angeal snapped his PHS shut with an uneasy look on his face. He was not sure if he should believe what Genesis had said, but he still decided to meet up with his childhood friend as planned.

"Huh? Where are you going, Angeal?"

Glancing at Zack, Angeal simply said, "Training's over, there's something I need to do," and resumed his walk towards the exit.

Zack frowned and scratched his head in confusion, 'Something seems off about Angeal today...' He watched his mentor leave with an air of curiosity, 'What's gotten into him?'

Time skip to Modeoheim...

Angeal entered the bath house where Genesis was currently hiding in and looked around the seemingly empty structure. Just as Angeal was beginning to think that his friend had tricked him into coming for nothing, Genesis's voice cut through the silence behind him with the rage in it directed at someone else, "So, you came,"

Genesis stalked right up to Angeal and shoved some papers at him, "Read it,"

Angeal hesitantly took the papers and looked at them thoroughly, freezing on the spot when he too, caught sight of the names that were printed on them.

"Did you know?"

Genesis shook his head, "I had no idea until I snagged them from Hollander and read them. I'll take it from your reaction that you have no idea of your sister's existence either," Angeal wanted to crumple up the papers in his hands but forced down the feeling and shook his head to confirm Genesis's statement. He looked at the Red Commander and asked, "Do you know where they are?"

Genesis sighed and shook his head, "My friend, the fates are cruel...I was planning on 'asking' Hollander, and I wanted you to do this with me. You have the right as much as I do. If they are really our sisters and Hollander messed with them..."

Angeal closed his eyes as a lump formed in his throat, he looked at Genesis and said, "I have so many questions I want to ask...Project G, my mother's involvement in this, everything. But..."

Genesis sighed, "Yes, it will have to wait, I'll fill you in on what I know later. But I do not know how much of that is the truth..."

Angeal straightened up, "First priority should be looking for our sisters, Genesis, do you know where Hollander is?"

Genesis's face darkened, "If my guess is right, he would be in his secret lab in Mako Reactor 5, meaning that we would have to go back...to Midgar."

Angeal smiled slightly, "I'll handle that,"

The Red Commander smirked and waved his hand towards the entrance in invitation, "Lead on,"

Zack lazily strolled down the corridors of Floor 49, having nothing to do since there were no assignments and no missions for him to take on. He entered the lounge, and was about to slump down on a random couch when he caught sight of his best buddy and changed his course.

"Heya, Kunsel,"

Kunsel smiled at Zack, "Thought you were still training?"

The spiky haired Second shook his head, "Nah, Angeal let me off early. Received some call and just left, saying that he had something to do..." Zack's voice trailed away, his thoughts wandering. He frowned, "Come to think of it, Angeal seemed really off after receiving the call, wonder who was that on the other end of the line,"

Kunsel snorted, "Didn't Angeal say the person's name?"

Zack looked sheepish, "Uh...maybe, I didn't catch it,"

The other Second Class snickered, "Zero-attention span, huh?"

"Shut up, sheesh,"

Zack groaned and stood up, stretching, "Damn it, all these training and no assignments. Like they're hanging me out to dry." He then began to do squats, causing Kunsel to chuckle: his friend never changed.

"You must be pretty busy with everyone off-base,"

Kunsel blinked and stood up as well, "Off-base? Wait, haven't you heard? There's been a mass desertion at SOLDIER,"

Zack stopped his motions, "Huh? When...how did that happen?"

Kunsel shrugged, "Don't know, I haven't figured it out myself, but it seems to have something to do with a missing First Class,"

Zack tilted his head to one side, "Missing First Class? Hmm..." he walked over to the large glass windows that showed the entire city beneath the Building and looked out of it. Then he saw something out of the corner of his eye on the Sector 5 Plate and squinted, trying to get a better look.

A red leather coat and a huge blade: the Buster Sword.

Zack released a noise of surprise and pressed his forehead to the glass, trying to make sure of what he saw.

Yep, no mistake, it was Angeal and Genesis, the one Angeal had mentioned to him many times before. And both were sneaking into the fifth reactor.

"Kunsel, take a look at that,"

The other SOLDIER stepped forward and did as Zack said, "What are they doing down there? The guy in the red coat...that's Genesis, the missing First,"

"Huh, I wonder..." Zack knew Genesis from the few times he had met the man in person, and mostly from the times Angeal spoke of him.

"Why are they snooping around? That is...unless they're doing something they don't want anyone to know and doesn't want to be seen."

Zack hummed at Kunsel's observation, his mind spinning with curiosity.

Genesis took charge the moment he and Angeal were in the reactor since he knew his way around. They went deep inside the structure searching for Hollander's lab and the man himself, since Genesis wanted him to 'do' an explanation. It was not long before they found the entrance to the secret lab and they heard muttering coming from inside.

Angeal stopped Genesis from going any farther and both hid themselves in a spot where they could easily see into the lab. What they saw made Genesis's blood boil: Hollander was injecting something into the auburn haired girl whom the SOLDIER duo guessed was Genesis's sister, Christina Rhapsodos, who was now lying on the operating table as the scientist worked on her.

Genesis growled lowly to himself and was about to move when Angeal stopped him, his eyes conveying the message that it was not the time for them to move yet.

They watched for a few more moments when Genesis finally could not take it anymore and shifted, rising to his feet and strolling right into the lab, causing Angeal to roll his eyes because his childhood friend was such a dramatic guy.

"Well, well, look what we have here...Hollander, you never told me you had...two extra test subjects to work on finding the cure, or is that a lie too?"

"Ge—Genesis!"

Angeal took this moment to reveal his presence, glaring at the man who was possibly his real father—not that he would see him as such, and said, "You have some explaining to do, Hollander."

Hollander sputtered incoherently as he tried to form an excuse, but failed. Genesis drew his Rapier casually and said, "I suppose this is about your little revenge on Hojo and the company, not really about me since I'm a failed experiment..."

Angeal stepped forward and held up his hand, cutting off Genesis nodding towards the operating table and said, "What is your purpose for doing this to them, Hollander? Wasn't me and Genesis enough?"

Hollander took a deep breath and began to rant, "Genesis was a failed experiment...You're the perfect specimen...To exact my revenge on Shin-Ra, I need an army, an army superior to that of Hojo's creations! Hojo...that man, everything was always about him, him and his Project S! It wasn't enough for him to get recognized, he had to become head of the Science Department as well! You two can pass on your traits and abilities to other humans. With them, we'll create an army! An army that will destroy Shin-Ra!"

Turning towards his 'creations', Hollander said, "Join me, Angeal, together, we can bring down the company! And I will get the respect and recognition I deserve."

Genesis snorted, "You don't get it, do you? We came here to get our answers...and retrieve our sisters." He leveled his blade at the scientist, "As for revenge...you can do that on your own, I'm not interested in being cannon fodder. In other words...I quit!"

Hollander backed away from Genesis's advance with Rapier, "Y-You can't do that! I'm the only one who can cure your degradation, and when I do, I'll even give your sisters the cure—!"

"Unfortunately, I am no longer in need of your help, I'll simply find the cure on my own...the Gift of the Goddess." Genesis jerked his head over to the unconscious girls, "Angeal, get them," Turning his attention back to the cowardly scientist, Genesis advanced further and pressed Rapier's tip under Hollander's throat.

Angeal, with both girls slung over his shoulders, said, "Genesis, is this really necessary? We don't have to kill him..."

"And what, let him do as he pleases? I think not..." The Red Commander lowered his blade anyway, "Humph,"

Angeal walked towards the exit, "Let's go back to my room, we'll figure something out,"

Genesis shot Hollander one last glare before leaving with his friend.

The duo sneaked into the Building via the fire-escape stairway and they began the risky trek back to Angeal's apartment. It was very hard, since there were cameras nearly everywhere. But they managed since Genesis had a Materia with him that turned them invisible to the eyes of others and confused some of the cameras.

Upon reaching Angeal's apartment, said man laid the two girls down on his bed, and Genesis sat next to his unconscious sister, brushing back some hair that fell into her face, "How did this happen?"

Angeal smiled sadly, "I wish I knew," he sat down on a chair next to the bed. "By the way, Project G..."

Genesis nodded and began to tell his childhood friend of all that he knows regarding the subject and Angeal listened intently. When Genesis was done, Angeal closed his eyes and leaned back into his chair with a sigh. "All that, just for the sake of power..."

Genesis huffed and pulled out Loveless, flipping through the pages once more, "Hey, don't you think they need a doctor? Not that I trust Shin-Ra's medical team anymore though,"

Angeal stood and began to leave, "I'll find someone trustworthy,"

Genesis simply gave a nod to indicate that he has heard.

What did you guys think? Sorry if it's a little OOC on Hollander, I just want to make him sound like the typical power hungry guy. XD Reviews are really appreciated, as well constructive criticism.=) Suggestions are also very welcome! See you guys next chapter~
